Does anybody know of a good tool for merging palettes?

Basically I have a lot of bmp files and I want to ensure they all the the same 256 colour palette. I would also need to ensure that colour 0 is black to make the transparencies work correctly.

well one thing you can do is to make one LARGE picture containing all of your pictures; and then use that pallette.

The reason why I suggest this method is so that the final pallette takes into consideration the distribution of colours, so that you don't have for example, a pallette that has more shades of red than blue when 3 pictures are mostly blue and only one is mostly red.
